Then something went wrong, Bjorn; I had mine in 15 seconds... Could it
have been caputered by anti-spam software on your system, or at your
ISP?

Yes, you are probably right. Was using hotmail and did NOT turn of
spam filters or add @prevx.com to my trusted list before I singed in
there, keep forgeting I should before doing stuff like this.

Tried again now, using same hotmail address, but was told I already
have an account with prevx. Loging in to that account only gave me the
option to opt-in/out from their e-mail list.

Had to use a different e-mail address to get it. So I did. Received
reply mail just fine now.

All the best,

Yeah like abtrusion protector, processguard it's XP/Win2k only. Even SSM,
the next version will be mostly WIn2k/XP.

Is Prevx strictly for XP users?

Hi Anne,

To have some form of protection you could try WinPatrol (Free Version)
from www.winpatrol.com and regprot from www.diamondcs.com.au, if you
want more... there is WinSonar from
http://www.digilander.iol.it/zancart which will alert you when
unidentified processes will start.

Thanks, Dick. I'm using Spybot S/D, A2, Spyware Blaster, Ad-Aware,
Trojan Remover and AVG. I just was curious as to what I'm
missing...<G> I'm dragging my heels about going to XP because I do
medical transcription with some programs that might not make the leap
to XP very gracefully.

It's inevitable that more and more programs will not be compatible with
W98/ME.

I made the "leap" to W2K last year when I bought my first ever new
machine (always have had castoffs and second-hands and hand-me-downs).
Figured I might as well get with the 21st century. While I find it to be
a great operating system, I frankly still prefer W98 in most respects.
I'm just kinda old and stubborn that way. I now have W2K on my main
machine, W98 on an old laptop, and XP on my old desktop machine, all
LAN'ed together. I detest XP.

If you're happy with your system's performance, and since it looks like
you've got all the security bases covered, I'd say just keep on draggin'
your heels. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hi Anne,

Well, with a decent firewall and regprot / winpatrol added to the
programs, you should have about that what is possible on a W9x system.

I can imagine that you are not too eager to make the switch to XP, but
like other posters also commented: More and more programs will be
incompatible with your current OS, not to mention the lack of support
by MS for it. Perhaps you should consider a whole different (Non-MS) OS
(Debian, BEOS, Z-OS or Linux to mention but a few), and inform yourself
whether there are programs for these Operating Systems that will aid
you in your work, like your present set of programs does.

Regards
Dick

Actually, going to XP has come to be an exercise in discipline as well
as concern about the transcription software not working in it. I want,
but don't need, a new computer. <G> No doubt I'd do well to have XP
put on it to take advantage of the technology. I may have to keep this
P III with '98 just to run the transcription stuff, all of which is
DOS based.

When the time comes, you might consider installing the drive out of your
old box as a secondary boot drive and set up your new machine to dual
boot XP/98. That way you'd be essentially running your old box -- and
all its software -- on newer, faster hardware.

Thanks, Mark--that's exactly what one of my brothers suggested we do
when I go with a new puter. Meanwhile, I'm still weighing want versus
need...as if I didn't really know the difference at my age! ;-)

Hi POKO, I heard a lot of people liking win98, especially win98se, why
is that? Personally I'm running XP and satisfied with it. My memories
of windows 9x/me was those BSOD and the constant reboots. Why would
win98 or win98se be anyone's favourite?

thanks

Many people prefer Win98se because it is/was very stable and fast.

I have some clients with an AMD 64 3400+ dual-boot pc (win98se/winxp) during
their transition phase over to winxp. Their oracle database reindexes/searches
much faster (~2 mins faster) on the same machine under win98se than xp. go
figure. They are now wondering why they should have to go to xp :)

I downloaded anything and everything in sight on my win98 box and my
computer friends cringed when they saw my systray, but I kept her
running fairly well constantly cleaning up after myself. Fortunately, I
had several co-workers keeping me on the straight and narrow with advice
and help. BSOD's - not that many considering what I put her thru.
I guess it boils down to my comfort level. I felt pretty much in control
with win98. I had moved to another location when I got my winxp box and
I was on my own - that made me leery from the start. It's growing on me
but I'm not at my 'comfort level'.
